No FIX with the manually set coordinates for the base

Hi Ben, One cause might be that there is an error on entering your coordinates and height values for your known point on your Base receiver and that they are too far from your current known location. I have had that happen to me with an error in the height entry. You need to enter ellipsoid height when using a manual base coordinate and you can obtain that from your average single coordinate if you don’t have it for your know position.
Your average single coordinates that you were successful in obtaining for your Base, should match your know point within a few meters. That is one way to check the location entered.

Edit: This also depends on what datum is used in collecting the average single coordinate and what datum you use for the known point. OPUS outputs in: REF FRAME: NAD_83(2011)(EPOCH:2010.0000) and ITRF2014 (EPOCH:2023.5174) and ORTHO HGT in NAVD88 (GEOID 18) so your Base would have to be set up using those parameters if using the OPUS known point or transformed to whatever datum you are using at your location.

Here is another discussion on this topic on the Forum.
